News from the Wildhouse Crossings Imprint
“John Hamilton writes that ‘music itself is an act of hope.’ So too is this memoir. In writing the story of his remarkable trek from hard-living Boston musician to humble pastor leading a small New England parish, John nimbly explores big questions while leaning into the mystery of faith and the meaning of success.” — Alysia Abbott, author of Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father
“Every musician is seeking transcendence. John Hamilton gives us a snapshot of his journey not only as he aspires to the glitter, gold, and platinum at the top of the charts but to a ‘still small voice’ deep within. In a surprising turn, John ordains as a minister, finding his heart and soul in community and in a committed family life. Deeply personal, this is a riveting, inspiring, and unique story; I couldn’t put it down.”
— Tim Collins, former manager of Aerosmith

About the Wildhouse Crossings Imprint
Wildhouse Crossings is an imprint for those exploring the edges of faith—Christians living creatively on the margins of institutional religion, deconstructed or disaffiliated believers, and seekers who no longer identify as Christian but still find meaning in spiritual practice and community.
Crossings titles explore what it means to live authentically at the intersections of faith, doubt, and transformation. We publish soulful stories that challenge religious distortions, spark insight, and offer guidance for cultivating spiritual wisdom beyond the boundaries of tradition.
As with all Wildhouse Publishing books, this imprint invites readers and writers alike to engage deeply with the complexities of belief, wrestle with questions that matter, and imagine new ways of understanding the sacred. Our books celebrate the beauty of a forward-looking, evolving vision of spirit for a modern world.
